The victim was pulled from the water already unconscious in the Marina Baixa area of Alicante
A 77-year-old has drowned on the Poniente beach in Benidorm this Monday September 6, after lifeguards and medical professionals were unable to save him.
The emergency services received a call at around 18:30 from a witness stating that an unconscious elderly man had been taken out of the water, and the lifeguards on duty at the time began resuscitation attempts immediately.
A few moments later, a SAMU ambulance arrived and medics began advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other recovery techniques, but unfortunately it was too late and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
An autopsy will be carried out to determine what led the man to drown.
